Quoting you from the Corner:
“Reading the piece, I began to see the outlines of a grand cross-ideological bargain: Conservatives get to deny Obama the presidency, and in return liberals get to call their fellow citizens racists for the next twenty years. I’ll take the deal.”
I won’t. And I say that as a person who disagrees with Obama on just about every significant issue.
The United States is designed to get by bad (incompetent or corrupt) leaders. Senator Obama, if elected, would probably do 5% things I’d like, 15% things I’d shrug, and 80% things I’d say were bad for the country.
OK- we can get past that. We got past Carter. We got past Clinton. The US can get past anything President Obama does.
What has hurt the US, for generations, has been racial tension. Salvery, the Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, all the way to today with Jesse Jackson and Rev. Wright- racial tension hurts the United States.
’Racism’ is a word thrown around that ends debate. You don’t argue facts and opinions with a racist.
Should Obama win the Presidency, racial tension stops. Doesn’t matter who tries to bring it up- the American Public will take the attitude of “It’s over. Any debt has been paid off.”
And that’s a deal that I’m willing to take.
